Procurement Officer

Procurement officers identify the procurement needs of an organization, reviewing purchase requisitions, awarding supplier tenders and supervising the performance of contractors.

They work regular office hours, however in the event of an emergency staff may be called in to assist where necessary.

Many procurement officers hold degrees in business and accounting. 

Officers can become managers and lead their teams to ensure a cohesive unit is formed so that the work is done efficiently and in a time-sensitive manner.
